PERFECT MATCHMAKER
By Roxanna Sielski
After the death of his mother, 11-year-old Chance wants to see his dad, Declan Carter, happy again so he creates a fake profile for him on a new dating app where Chance finds Avery. Avery, perfect in every way, is unaware that she is communicating with a child. Trouble and chaos ensue when the truth is revealed. Is Declan ready for love?
SYNOPSIS:
“Perfect Matchmaker” has all the ingredients of a classic romantic comedy. The story is about Avery, a 35-year-old party planner in Chicago who has been unlucky in love, but successful in business. Her best friend talks her into creating a profile on a new dating app where she matches with 40-year-old Kyle. Unbeknownst to Avery, Kyle is really an 11-year-old boy playing matchmaker for his dad, Declan Carter, a drop-dead gorgeous local celebrity. They finally agree to meet where Avery finds out the truth, but Declan is none too pleased and believes Avery was in on the deception the entire time. Words are exchanged, which are later regretted, and a second chance is given. Things are going well until Avery’s ex-fiancé shows up to win her back. It is then Declan realizes just how much he loves her, but is it too late? Sometimes, love is just one chance away and when two people take that chance, anything can happen...

Hi, Roxanna Sielski. Nice to meet you. Perfect Matchmaker sounds interesting and unique. I’ve never seen a movie where a kid plays matchmaker for his dad.
I have a few suggestions for your logline:
I think “Trouble and chaos” is vague. I suggest telling what the trouble and chaos is.
I suggest changing Chance’s name to “_______ (the main flaw Chance has to overcome in the script or an adjective that describes his personality) kid*.” Names in loglines are usually for biopics, well-known stories, and franchises (like Mission: Impossible).
I also suggest adding the story goal and stakes.
